Pakistan- Ration distributed among 50 displaced families in South Waziristan

Mehsud Tahaffuz Movement, a youth organisation in South Waziristan, distributed the food items among the displaced families at a ceremony in Fateh Mor area. The food items included ghee, sugar, pulses, black tea and other edibles. Manzoor Mehsud, a representative of the welfare organisation, said food items have been distributed among few families, while many other families still need help and they are waiting to get assistance.
